Good Morning America Deals & Steals: Butter London

This morning I noticed that the theme of today's Good Morning America's Deals and Steals is Summer Beauty Blowout. They have some nice brands, including Burt's Bees and Butter London. As a nail polish fan, I had to check out the Butter London sets they were offering!

I am loving this After Party Lacquer trio for spring. It includes everything from soft to shimmery to bright!

Fruit Machine, Pistol Pink, & Giddy Kipper: $19 ($55 value)

Also tempted by this High Society Lips & Tips set - you can't go wrong with a classic red lip or chic red mani.

Come to Bed Lacquer, Beaker Shimmer, & Come to Bed Liquid Lippy: $21 ($53 value)

I would guess these sets also come with the cute little cosmetic bags pictured, though I'm not sure. 

According to the GMA Deals and Steals page, the sets included reflect savings of 65-70%. Shipping starts at $7, but your items will be shipped for free if you spend over $50. No promo code is needed, and these deals are valid TODAY only!

Which exclusive sets are you loving? Will you be picking up one of the Butter London deals or any of the other GMA Summer Beauty Blowout items?

Julep Maven June 2014 Selections

Are there any other Julep fans out there? I joined the Julep Maven program in January 2013, and I have been in love ever since. I look forward to the 20th of each month so I can select my polishes!

This month, Julep debuted a new customizable box option. This is great, because sometimes I love one color from one box and one color from another. Now I can create my perfect box!

I started with my usual Classic with a Twist box this month. While I liked both colors, I fell for a gorgeous copper color (Natalia) from the Boho Glam box. With this new customize option, I was able to substitute in Natalia AND keep my favorite color from the CWAT box.


As always, Julep also offered some great add-on options. I decided to try their new Oxygen Performance Top Coat and an iridescent "pixie" top coat called Katerina. I also added on Jennine, which is a gorgeous textured aqua glitter polish. 

I can't wait to get my hands on them... and get them on my nails!

Are you a Julep Maven? What are you getting in your June 2014 box? I'd love to read your comments below!

Hello, Polish-Loving Readers!

My name is Kris, and I'm starting this little blog to document and share my adventures in nail polish. What started out as simply trying a new-to-me subscription service (Julep Maven) ended up becoming a full-on passion and hobby.

In the past year and a half, I have accumulated hundreds of bottles of nail polish - my pretties! Once I felt confident giving myself a basic manicure, I started to attempt some nail art. I am slowly but surely developing my skills, and I decided that I wanted to share my successes (and sometimes flops) on this teeny piece of the Internet. 

I hope you find my ideas and tutorials inspiring and helpful! I am looking forward to seeing how this project in blogging evolves. 

You can find me on Instagram and on Twitter. If you recreate any of my manis, I'd love to see them! Tag me using @iamkrisredmond and/or use #polishmefab so I can see your lovely work!

Thanks for taking the time to read, and please feel free to comment with your feedback as I set this thing in motion. :)

xoxo
